Big Sky Music Festival often promotes its products or services on its official third party social media platforms (e.g., Big Sky Music Festival’ Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts, or an account relating to one of its events) (collectively, the “Big Sky Music Festival Social Media Accounts”). The Big Sky Music Festival Social Media Accounts are generally used as an extension of the content posted on the Website and they are also intended to be platforms through which we can engage our loyal fans, answer relevant questions, provide updates and promote contests and events.
